We dont have u21 like the euros do. After u20 there isnt any other youth squads. But the future superstars james wilson and jordan ibe were playing

Well, this was all rather anticlimactic

Fifa’s ethics committee judge will on Thursday deliver his summary of a long awaited investigation into the controversial World Cup bidding process but is not believed to have uncovered evidence that would justify stripping Qatar of the 2022 tournament.

Individuals who are no longer involved in football – including Jack Warner, Mohammed bin Hammam and Reynald Temarii – are expected to be criticised but the summary of the report does not at this stage name any other names.

Nor is there believed to be a “smoking gun” that links the behaviour of Mohammed bin Hammam, the Qatari former Asian Football Confederation president who was banned for life for offering bribes to officials during his challenge for the Fifa presidency, with the Qatar 2022 bid.

Russia, which won the right to stage the 2018 tournament, is understood to be criticised for its failure to co-operate with the investigation and is believed to have claimed that its computer systems were wiped in the wake of its victory so few email trails exist.

According to sources, the “plague on all their houses” nature of the summary makes it even less likely that the investigation will lead to either Russia or Qatar being stripped of the tournament.

The Sunday Times uncovered evidence that Bin Hammam had made a series of major payments to football officials during his presidential bid that amounted to millions of dollars, which coincided with the Qatar 2022 World Cup campaign, leading to genuine concern in Doha that Fifa would strip them of the tournament.

Australia’s bid, which cost taxpayers $40m and received just a single vote, also came under scrutiny for development funds paid and gifts distributed in parts of the football world in which influential Fifa executive committee members had votes.

Garcia was compromised from the start by the fact that he had no power to seize phone records or email traffic and those corrupt former Fifa officials who are no longer involved in the game could not be compelled to talk.

Despite limited powers, Garcia has been determined to investigate as best he can, travelling to each of the bidding nations to gather evidence. Garcia is banned from Russia under a tit-for-tat response to US sanctions and the reports into the Russian bid and the USA were compiled by Garcia’s deputy, Cornel Borbély, to avoid conflicts of interest.

With whistleblowers interviewed by Garcia having been promised anonymity, Eckert has insisted that he will only publish “a summary of the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the report, as well as a brief evaluation of the same”.

Others, including Garcia himself, have pushed for the full publication of the report with names redacted. The investigator is understood to have made a number of recommendations about how the bidding process could be improved in future, as well as recommending sanctions against certain individuals.

How do broke people afford to smoke weed everyday? Are they broke cuz they smoke weed everyday?

make friends that smoke bud, match, smoke each other up, make "friends" with dealers, get bud from them and pay them back at a determined date.

and yeah, I know a few potheads who are broke because they would rather smoke than go after higher paying jobs.
that doesn't apply to everyone though, there's some high functioning high salary earning potheads out here too.

the south park episode where Stan's dad said something along the lines of "smoking weed is ok, but it you do it too much you'll be content with sitting on the couch and not doing much with yourself" can be true. between the Confed Cup and PL Christmas footy that was my life pretty much. I took a look at my finances and decided that I was spending too much money on bud and not doing enough to improve my position in life, so I stopped for a while and started working on things. the main person I was hanging out with at that point was doing the same shyt. a year later, he's doing the same shyt. If I check in with him 3 years from now, I guarantee he's doing the same shyt.

All of this said, I'll probably start smoking vaping again at some point in the future. In moderation.
